Because of situations like yours I think it's better to suggest |
| 8 |
editing the file to change/delete the affected devices rather than |
| 9 |
suggesting to delete the whole thing (though that may depend on the |
| 10 |
user's skill level). |

Maybe there are other nics in the machine that are fine and don't need |
| 13 |
to be changed, maybe they will auto-detect in a different order than |
| 14 |
before, perhaps they've been moved around slots, and blowing away the |
| 15 |
whole config might lead to other confusion later on when eth0 is fixed |
| 16 |
but now eth1 and eth2 have been reversed, or whatever. |

But I am a pessimist. :) |
